It is also called the Mallard duck. He likes rivers, bays, lakes and places where there are small fresh water streams.
He is best known in the world for his shiny green head and neck and white collar. Its chest is deep brown and its sides and belly are pale gray. The bill of the male mallard is yellow. Mallards are not diving ducks. It will stick its head in the water to grab food, but will only dive completely in case of danger, which happens very rarely.
